I think this one is due to a leaky water main there -- the street's been flooding off and on all year. (Was just in California, where such a waste of water would be scandalous, and before that in Japan, where potholes would be scandalous.)

I always take extra care around underpasses. The water dripping off the bridge above usually creates some interesting ice opportunities.

They appear to have patched a few between Montrose and Irving, but not the one that's made me worry after hitting it, on the upslope to the bridge over Irving, second lane from the left, left tire track. Still there.

Grand Ave between the Kennedy bridge and Racine (roughly). There's a faint line of "tolerable" missing road chunks near the paint stripe that divides the lanes, but within this ~30 foot stretch of road imperfections there is a nasty hole that made my car go boom yesterday. I was headed westbound.

By now, driving your car must feel like being in a pick-up! :D

Struck a monster today on LSD south before Foster. It jolted the entire car and I lost my favorite song on the Satellite radio for a couple seconds:td:. Called the 311 peeps on that one.

Good move GreenTrees. Call these puppies into 3-1-1 to get them in queue.

At this time of year in a frozen climate, potholes only get temporary "cold patches", similar to what a hardway store sells for your driveway.

Full fixes aren't available until spring after the Asphalt plants re-open.

Don't know how long you've lived in Chicago, but even in the spring/summer it seems that potholes go neglected until they're so large that whole cars start to fall in them.

2 spots for me.

The bridge between the Ryan and Clark on 18th is like the surface of the moon.

Today, a HUGE pothole opened in the viaduct between Lake Park and LSD on 47th. Delayed my bus by 10 minutes. Really grim. Cars backed up everywhere.

Maybe I should keep my big-arse SUV for winter pothole runs. I was thinking about leaving it behind in Arkansas. When we lived here before I didn't have a car for about 80% of my time here, and didn't have one in the winter.

A few years ago I was at the Hyde Park Co-op and saw a compact car tumbled into a gigantic pothole in the parking lot, at a 45-degree angle. Must have been 7 feet deep. Don't think it was wintertime.

I saw them patching in there this morning. Will see in a day or two if it's any good.

The roads in Naperthrill are as perfect as the cutesy downtown area. :D

They are indeed useful in navigating the prolific speed bumps inthe city too.

There is a massive one on Northbound LSD just after Diversey in the right lane. Lower wacker over the river is entirely rutted.

So, the left lane was closed (going from NB Michigan to LSD) yesterday morning, at least 6 guys and a couple trucks. This morning, all open, apparently nothing done, potholes still just as bad.
